Zusammenfassung:	In a preferred embodiment, a retrofittable PRM lavatory complex occupies the same footprint as a preexisting outboard dual-lavatory complex. The two lavatories are separated by a common articulating wall that is typically positioned in a standard operating position in which the lavatory complex operates as a standard dual-lavatory complex. The common wall may be moved by a flight attendant or passenger to a PRM position in which the lavatory spaces are combined to accommodate a person with reduced mobility. In the most preferred embodiments, the common wall may be articulated to the PRM position from within the lavatory with the doors closed, which facilitates the conversion to a PRM lavatory and advantageously avoids intrusion into the aisle space during the conversion.
